Spike TV has ordered two new unscripted series from producers behind Jersey Shore and The Biggest Loser.
The half-hour Repo Games, from Jersey Shore exec producer Sally Ann Salsano and her 495 Prods., has received a 20-episode order. It is a game-show described as Cops meets Jeopardy and follows a crew of real-life repo men, Josh Lewis and Tom Detone, who give debtors one last chance to keep their cars but only if they’re willing to play for it. The debtors get five questions and if they get three answers correct, the car will be paid off on the spot. If not, the car gets taken away. Production on the show starts in February.
The hourlong Bar Rescue, from 3 Ball Pros./Eyeworks, has received a 10-episode order. The project, which was picked up to pilot in May under the title On the Rocks, features top restaurant and bar consultant Jon Taffer giving failing establishments one last chance to succeed. The series begins shooting in April. JD Roth and Todd A. Nelson are exec producing.

Playing games with peoples transportation? It’s nice if they get to keep the car, but this still seems a little sick from my P.O.V..
Awesome! How about “The 99er Games” next?
People who have been unemployed for 99 weeks and are about to lose their benefits will have ONE LAST CHANCE (!!) to get extended for another six months. As they stand in line, a randomly selected contestant will be asked 5 questions, and if they get 3 of them right, then they will be eligible again! Awesome! Yeah! Making shows off of people’s misery and misfortune!
Or, how about this:, If the REPO MAN can answer 3 out of 5 questions correctly, the angry unemployed guy about to lose his car will NOT beat the crap out of him.
They keep asking why, people are watching less TV, they keep saying, mobile, internet, smart TV boxes. How about the fact that TV is littered with litter, nothing but a bunch of crap. No creativity, no talent… just the Jerry Springer Mindset of the Producer, The Network and the Audience that is still around to watch this crap!!
Hey, two more reasons not to watch Spike.
My only hope that this is a desperate attempt by Kevin Kay & Co. to generate controversy, thus ratings for their shitass network. Nobody with even a shred of decency could greenlight this, knowing what a horrendous omen this portends for future programming. And please, don’t suggest simply not watching. I loathe having to live in a sick world with fans of this crap sharing the same streets with me and my children.
Two new shows. Both with writers. But will the producers let them join the union and get health benefits, overtime, and a pension like their peers?
Or will they keep that extra cash for themselves and treat the people who make them rich like crap?
Hmmm….
Count on Salsano for producing another show exploiting and taking advantage of brainless souls. I wonder how this woman sleeps at night. She wakes up concocting dubious plans and promises to make her ratings, laughing herself to the bank while the rest suffers around her. I hope she has a good nest egg because she’ll be yesterday’s news very soon.
Awwww poor lil broke cry baby…..Can you hear it? Can you hear that? It’s the WAAAAAAAAAM-BULANCE….coming for your cry baby ass….
You have no idea about a damn thing! Who comes up with the idea, the planning, the concept and bringing it to tv. She is a genius and you are a fool….and yes she is laughing her way to the bank because she can……..
Negativity, haters….hate on!!!!!
If you can’t understand the concept, they why judge it? First remember the REPOMAN has a job to do for the financial institutions. It’s the client that has failed to pay, breahced the contract by defaut. If any of you were crecitors you would want your asset back would you, or wold you just give it away. Well, we all know the answer to that. Moving on, the show is a prize show to give them an additional chance to win their car free and clear, that they don’t own anyway until that last penny is paid off. So, let’s just say, the show laned up on your door cause you were unfortunate, failed to pay for your vehicle and you had that cahnce to get it paid off. Your telling me none of you would play? LMAO @ YOU….if you say you wouldn’t, you are all liars. Just like if you won 100 million in the lottery you wouldn’t take it, you would give your ticket away. Again, lies!
You are all so fast to point the finger at a good thing, yet you don’t see the good in it.
A person down on their luck, their life and here’s a chance to get something for a little bit of knowledge. How hard is that?
There’s more to the financial world, how interest rates are set and so much more, but none of you seem to understand that, you just blabber and bash a good thing before you actually see it in action.
@LMAOOO is obviously Sally Ann or one of her cronies, perhaps her development person. That’s the problem with people like these. They start to believe their own hype to the point that they become deaf to everyone’s opinion. Looking at this company’s track record they have not done a single thing that’s worthy of being considered “good” or contributing to the betterment of our society. Their shows are simply trash and no matter how they want to spin it they’re a trash producing company. Stop lying to yourself and just own up that your career will forever be relegated to the garbage can. Enjoy it while it lasts and be proud of it!
Repo Games, Lizzard lick towing, Operation Repo, TV is at a all time low, are you kidding me a three year old cxould write better shows! what a waste!
Hey why not do the show in an emergency room? We’ll stop the bleeding if you can answer 4 questions correctly.
What people are reacting to ( f**kwad), is humiliating people for entertainment. You obviously didn’t do well in kindergarten.
I cannot stress how cheap and crappy the makeovers these people provide are. They seem to know nothing about bars so why are they running this show? They take bars that are NOT failing and screw them up. It’s a big joke.
I saw the sports bar they just “completed”. On the walls they actually painted around their lights so it would be good for their shoot but when the lights came down there were big unpainted areas. They moved this sports bars televisions around but added nothing and even hung them crooked. “Crooked” yep I think that is a good word for these producers.
As a business owner myself I was appalled by what I saw.
